With his Elvis hair and suit, Adam Lambert sang "If I Can't Have You" by Bee Gees with his great voice, unspooling slowly and making audience hear this song totally differently. See Adam performance video after this jump:

Idol judges comments:

Randy, "you've got it majorly going on, he's a hot one tonight, America!"Kara, "the most memorable performance"Paula, "awesome, he'll be in the finals."Simon, "you did something we weren't expecting, original -- never heard it that way before, definitely memorable."

If I Can’t Have You LyricsBee Gees

Don’t know why I’m surviving every lonely dayWhen there’s got to be no chance for meMy life would end and it doesn’t matter how I cryMy tears of love are a waste of timeIf I turn away am I strong enough to see it throughGo crazy is what I will do

If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody babyIf I can’t have you ah ah, I can’t have youI don’t want nobody baby, if I can’t have you ah ah

Can’t let go and it doesn’t matter how I tryI gave it all so easily to you my loveTo dreams that never will come trueAm I strong enough to see it throughGo crazy is what I will do
